you use 5 on each side and they go through spacers/wheels...btw i use 275/35/20 rear and 245/40/20 front tires...someone is using 45 front and 40 rear???

I currently have 45 front and 40 rear. With the Eibach lowering springs and Eibach rear spacers I dont have any issues. If I hit a dip on the freeway my right rear fender barely rubs. Im just trying to make my stock look a little more sportier and with the combination of the springs and spacers it got the job done! Geah!

The spacers can go rear/front. Measure how many mm you need to get the look you're going for and then order the proper size. Read what is included in the kits. With spacers, it is highly recommended you use longer bolts. Some kits come with it and some are just the spacers.

From your avatar, I see you have a sports package. Your car already sits lower. I would go with 20mm or 15mm for rears to prevent rubbing. I actually have to roll my fenders today. Went out last night and the rears rubbed on big dips.

Pretty sure ECS is good quality as well. Be sure to properly torque the bolts on the wheels/spacers. Recheck after a day and retorque the bolts. Check it often to make sure everything is bolted on properly for safety. Your car will look great with spacers. Those wheels are really nice but definitely swallowed in. Will look much better flush.

hey guys... I just got some 20mm spacers for my car and took them down to firestone to have them put on with my new conti's I just got. They told me they wouldnt put them on because it's a liability and I shouldnt do so and it also takes a special technique to put them on? wtf... don't you just put the deeper lugs on in a star pattern as you would without and be good with it? Thanks!

Most tire shops won't use spacers or recommend them and won't install cause of liability reasons. They are safe to use as long as you mount them properly and torque the bolts to spec. Make sure to recheck after a day of driving and recheck often. When you mount the spacer onto the hub, be sure it's flush all around, no gaps. Bolt on the wheels star pattern with longer lug nuts. Be sure they turn 8-10 times before tightening.
